Cleveland Photographic Society

Membership in CPS is open to anyone with an interest in and a passion for photography as a hobby, an avocation or a vocation.

CPS welcomes photographers of all skill levels - beginner, amateur, advanced amateur and professional. CPS believes in education and one of the best benefits of being part of CPS is the wealth of knowledge that members have and share about photography. Our members include accomplished, award-winning photographers who love to share their interests and experience.

CPS does not specialize in any specific genre of photography, instead encouraging members to explore everything from the more traditional Nature and Pictorial categories to Creative, People and Portraiture, Fine Arts, Architectural, Macro / Close-Up, Photojournalism and Digital techniques, to name but a few.

Above all, you get to share your love of photography with other photographers!!

* PLEASE NOTE: The Mentor program and SIGs are designed for intermediate photographers who are already familiar with the basics. Graduation from the CPS Fundamentals of Good Photography class or equivalent experience is required in order to participate.

The mission of the Cleveland Photographic Society is to promote and advance the understanding, passion and joy of photography by providing opportunities for education, skill development, picture-taking, competition, critique and fellowship.
